J2ME Logging

adam

As soon as an enterprise developer starts developing for mobile devices the paradigm changes. For me reliable logging is almost the first thing I missed in J2ME. Even System.out, were you to be so crass as to use it ;) , is unreliable on some devices.

I found a sourceforge project called MicroLog this looks very promising. It is log4j compatible and the download is only the source code so you simply add it to your project source tree. It is quite lightweight and considering the development time wasted when you cannot get reliable debug information it seems well worth it.
